Former WWE star Cameron used an appearance on Layla El’s “Lay Talk Podcast” to argue that WWE’s modern women’s division, while far superior in in-ring ability, is missing the sex appeal that defined the Divas era she competed in.
According to Ringside News, Cameron made the comments during a Halloween-themed episode of the podcast, where she and Layla El reminisced about past Halloween contests and battle royals from their time in WWE. Cameron acknowledged that today’s female wrestlers have elevated their in-ring work to a level beyond what the Divas era produced, but she contended that something has been lost in the transition.
eWrestlingNews reported that Cameron specifically pointed to the absence of the Divas-era style of presentation as a gap in the current product, framing it as a trade-off between improved wrestling quality and the visual appeal that once accompanied it.
NoDQ, which also covered the appearance, quoted Cameron saying that fans, specifically male viewers, still want a visual element the current women’s division does not provide. The outlet’s headline cited her saying that “guys, respectfully, want to see a little ass,” a remark that underscored her broader point about what she sees as a missing ingredient in today’s presentation.
Cameron was a prominent figure during WWE’s Divas era, a period the company has since moved away from in favor of a women’s division built more explicitly around championship storylines and in-ring competition. Her comments, delivered alongside former WWE Superstar Layla El on their joint podcast, frame the conversation as a comparison between two distinct eras of WWE’s women’s product rather than a direct criticism of any current performer.
Neither Cameron nor Layla El offered specifics in the reported excerpts about which current talents or storylines they believe illustrate the shift, and none of the three outlets covering the podcast appearance indicated that WWE has responded to the comments. The remarks stand as Cameron’s personal assessment of how the women’s division has evolved since her run with the company, shared in the context of a podcast conversation rather than an official WWE platform.
